    Wall Mounted Toilet - Opening a Can of Worms?

    Just reframe the wall with 2x6 without ripping them down gives more working room. I installed a Cheviot wall hung which is very similar to a Geberit and once the plumber and carpenter saw the carrier and toilet it was very easy to figure out. My plumber had never done one before but installation...

    9 years ago completely remodeled bathroom with walk-in shower and moen chrome hardware. Installed a 24 inch Moen Kingsley grab bar. Well after 9 years chrome on grab bar started to peel so purchased a replacement. Put it up and noticed chrome did not match. New bar had a yellowish tint and rest...

    Can an American Standard Champion 4 be converted?

    Check to see if it has an adjustable flapper. My cadet pro had a adjustable flapper and after adjusting to max it works perfect. Never have to double flush.

    14” rough-in options: AS Cadet Pro or Toto?

    I have a cadet pro 14 inch and it does not extend farther into the room. I believe it is actually made as a 14 inch and not a 12 inch with a deeper tank.

    American Standard Cadet Pro

    Just checked out the flapper. It’s a fluidmaster 540. The flapper was set to 1 adjusted it to 10. Think this will solve my problems. Flushes much more water.

    American Standard Cadet Pro

    The bowl seems to always be at the correct level and there is no opposing bowl.

    American Standard Cadet Pro

    Everything is set up properly. It’s just annoying that this intermittent problem of not flushing fully happens. I will try a adjustable flapper to see what happens. It just makes no sense why it happens intermittently with both solid and liquid waste. The second flush always works. My real...

    American Standard Cadet Pro

    I have an American Standard Cadet Pro elongated toilet. It is a 1.28 GPF version. What can I do to convert it to a 1.6 GPF version. In order to make it flush totally all the time I hold the handle down extra time. Still at times it doesn’t burp and break the siphon. I thought that making it a...

    New Toilet Recommendation

    That looks to be about $890 US. Not cheap but they may have run into other problems.

    New Toilet Recommendation

    I have both a Viper and a Cadet Pro. The cadet is a 1:28 gpf and the Viper is a 1.6. The Viper seems to have a better bowl wash but that could be to the 1.6 flush. The Cadet sometimes needs a second flush but is a better looking unit. The Viper appears to be bigger. Both are elongated bowls...

    Wall hung toilets with in-wall tanks.

    I installed a Cheviot wall hung unit which I believe is very similar to a Gerabit. It’s actually Vitra unit from Turkey sold by a Canadian company and has performed excellently for almost 9 years now. Has anyone else ever had any experience with this unit? This one is located in Nepal.

    Navien CH-180 won't increase supply temp

    You need to change the main Printed Curcuit Board to get it to 180 degrees. Navien supplied me the board for free but I was under warranty at the time. The unit comes standard with a 160 board. I had to do this on my CH210. They also require that you switch to CPVC exhaust piping which is very...

    Replaced expansion tank what happened?

    When it was cool I set the pressure to 12.3 by shutting off the fill valve and relieving the pressure with the drain. Right now the unit is not running and the pressure is 14.5 at 137F
